You Can be Great If You Really Want To

Back in the 1980′s there was a commercial, a slogan really, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste.’ While the commercial dealt with teens and drug use, the message can still be applied today. We can expand on the sentiment though; the power of the mind is a terrible thing to waste. It is time for you to harness the power of mind and use it to create what you want in life.

Everyone in the reach of Western Media has, by now, heard of The Secret, or The Law of Attraction. In a nutshell, whatever you positively visualize in your life, you’ll achieve. Even if you don’t consciously direct it, your perceptions of the world will alter how the world happens to you. People with negative attitudes draw negative events to them, and people with positive attitudes draw good fortune to them.

Proof of this can be seen in scientific studies everywhere, in the medical world it is known as the Placebo Effect. There is an old adage that even evokes the sentiments, ‘Mind over matter.’ That means that if you don’t mind it doesn’t matter, and if you do mind then it will matter. Undoubtedly you have seen people ‘think’ themselves sick, and you have seen them ‘think’ themselves well. The power of the mind is incredible.

For example, how many times has your alarm gone off, or you had something happen that put you in a foul mood, and you’ve said ‘Oh, great. It’s going to be one of those days’, only to drag yourself into one bad experience after another, with each one compounding the ill will of the former? This is because the Law of Attraction and your own negative attitude are pulling bad experiences to you.

Correlation is not causation, though there are a lot of people who try to link the Law of Attraction to some quantum mechanical effect. Going too far down this line will make your head hurt, either from the quantum mechanics or from the way the terminology is being misused. Ultimately, this drives into solipsism if you look at it too deeply, and that’s not what the Law of Attraction is about.

Some of the more fringe scientific studies are trying to link this observer effect to thinks like remote viewing, telepathy, and other ‘supernatural’ powers. An even greater extension is that everything we see, feel and hear; all of our sensory inputs, may well be something ‘stitched together’ into a narrative by our minds. On the extreme end, this leads to solipsism, the belief that nothing is real until you observe it, and the question of ‘If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody’s around, does it make any sound?’

And that opens up doors. Learning how to use the power of your mind can change your life, by giving you focus, by making a lot of your goals attainable. It’s better to keep your mind open to opportunities, to let the Law of Attraction work for you, than to let negative impressions derail your life.

Start with a goal. Visualize it clearly in your mind. Make it a goal with boundaries; for example, if you’re thinking about money, don’t think of the goal in the context of ‘A lot of money’. Put a dollar figure on it. Make it a real goal, with precision. Once the goal is set, focus your mental actions on achieving that goal. Keep the effort constant; don’t do it in bursts and lags.

The sign of someone who’s goal focused is that they’re very driven. They work each and every moment towards some goal, rather than frittering their time away in unstructured pursuits. When they’re working on a goal, they’re driving towards it, rather than do it a little bit, then get distracted by something else. This puts the full power of their mind on the goal, and every little step helps further it. It’s one of those things that’s so difficult because it’s simple. People expect life changing events to be more involved than ‘Make a goal, and stick with it.’

Your ability to shape your life, by actively taking part in the influence your mind has on your perceptions of reality is nearly unlimited. It’s limited primarily by what you can imagine yourself doing. At times, this can border on obsession; imagine wanting a new home. Every day you start out with a list of tasks that will bring you closer to your dream of home ownership. You plan it, you think about color schemes and landscaping. Eventually, this will boost your performance at work; it’ll encourage you to save, or to cut back your credit card debt.

Then all of a sudden that dream house is for sale. Not only for sale, but you qualify for the mortgage. Even better the owners accept the offer you made, you close the deal and you are able to move into your new house in 30 days. Everything you had been doing, all of the energy, all of the thoughts were towards getting that house and you got it.

This is within your grasp. You can do it; stop letting life happen to you, and you start happening to your life. Make your mind your most powerful asset, and you’ll be astonished at the changes you can make in your life by setting small goals and focusing on them.

You may not have known this, but your mind is just like a magnet. When your mind sees or thinks something it will start to attract that thing. This is due to something called the law of attraction, that works based on mind power. Believing something will happen with such a strong conviction that is does end up happening is the basis of the law of attraction. When you think, feel and see yourself with the best life then you can have it. It takes practice, but with a persistent attitude you can have success. It is amazing just how powerful the mind really is.

We all have mind power that we just do not realize. In fact, research has proven that we only use about 10% of our brain power. What a waste! We seem to only stick to the simple things and bypass the rest. That could be why we seem to think life is nothing but trouble. That leads to negative thoughts because we do not think anything can happen. We think negative, so we draw negativity to ourselves. The truth is that by thinking this way we are just manifesting the negativity in our own life.

What happens in your life starts in your mind. What you have accomplished is a direct result of the power of your mind. You may have heard that every person has psychic ability or some type of extra sensory skills, but the truth is that is really the advanced power of the mind. Basically, if you want something in your life then all you need to do to get it is think it. If you expect nothing but bad things then that is what you will get.

There are a few things that you can do to start to increase your existing amount of mind power. One of those things involves the use of visualization. This is a very powerful technique because it will help you to exercise your current state of mind power, and might possibly be able to ‘flip the switch on’ for you in terms of gaining more.

With visualization, all you have to do is to sit down and create images and pictures inside your mind. This can help to bring those images to life in reality, but first it has to start within your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind really knows how to bring images into a real life effect like no other. The images in your mind need to be positive so that only positive can come your way. It is best to try to think about the way that you want your life to be before you attempt to do this.

To help you, write everything on a piece of paper, like a story. You should consider your goals as they can guide you. You can shape your visions around your goals. By writing things down you will be less likely to forget them. Write and visualize a few times a day so it starts to manifest as reality in your mind.

Another technique to use to increase mind power is affirmations. Affirmations are positive things that you think or say to yourself throughout the day. They encourage you to think positivity and to work towards your goals. They can be about anything positive that you want to happen in your life. Just keep using them every day. You should do this for 28 days straight, even if it feels weird, in 28 days it will naturally become a habit.

Developing more mind power can also be done by brainwave entrainment. This is simply brainwave synchronization that involves the use of different frequencies through audio technology. Our brains have the natural ability to do several things. One of them consists of the power to heal itself. This can be turned on even more through this type of advanced audio technology. Other things consist of the ability to enhance memory and bring into effect our already existing psychic powers. Different frequencies can do a whole lot concerning mind power. This is a very advanced type of procedure, but it works wonders.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help increase you’re the power of your mind. It works through relaxation and getting into the subconscious mind. Smoking cessation is a good example of how hypnosis works. During a hypnosis session, the smoker is told they do not want to smoke and they do not need to smoke and that they want to quit. This process simply takes someone who doesn’t believe in themselves to the point where they do believe that they can overcome the addiction.

So you see, everyone has mind power, it is just a matter of belief in one’s abilities. It may not happen overnight for everyone, but you can change your circumstances and turn your bad luck into good. You must learn to communicate your energies out into the universe and know that what you put out there will manifest itself back to you. But it all starts within the subconscious mind. How much mind power do you have?

Let’s face it; the human mind is more than likely one of the most powerful things in all creation and as such, one shouldn’t ever under estimate the power of the subconscious mind. Irrespective of what you do or what you say, it all comes from your mind, and in certain circumstances, your actions take place on a conscious level.

A perfect example of this can be witnessed when we sit down to watch TV. In some cases we don’t like what we’re watching and so we decide to change channels and watch something else instead. This is an action of the conscious mind. On other occasions, we reach for the remote and we flick through the different channels for no apparent reason. This of course is an action on the subconscious level, but have you ever stopped to think about what made you do it? Because this was an action on the subconscious level you probably never gave it a second thought.

How does something like this actually happen? In all probability, something came on TV which you don’t really like and your subconscious mind, knowing it was something you don’t like, triggered a reaction so that you wouldn’t have to endure it. This just goes to show how much of an impact your subconscious mind can have on the way a person behaves. This type of occurrence also helps to emphasize the importance of training yourself to use the power of your subconscious mind so that you can use it to improve the quality of your life to an extent you probably never believed to be possible.

Providing you can learn how to harness and control the power of your subconscious, you’ll be able to live the type of life you long for. Unfortunately, most people are brought up believing that there are many dangers lurking in the subconscious mind. Admittedly, mankind needs to understand the undesirable side of human psychology but if we spend too much time focusing on the negative aspects, we’re bound to encounter negative experiences.

Because of this it is crucial that you focus primarily on the positive aspects of your life, and how you can gain control over your subconscious mind in order to make self improvement possible. Even though this may at first seem as though it is a complex process, you’ll soon discover that rather than being complex, it’s simply a series of simple processes. These simple processes can in turn allow you to harness the power of your subconscious and that in turn will help you to reach your full potential. So, without any further procrastination, let’s take a look at how you can go about achieving this.

In all likelihood, affirmations are probably the easiest way for you to gain control over your subconscious mind. As you may already know, affirmations is a method people use in order to remind themselves about certain aspects of their life so that it is possible for them to reach their goals.

If for example you found yourself in a situation where you were required to complete a task for which you believed you were not ready, you would more than likely experience a feeling of fatigue. This is essentially the way your body responds to a stressful scenario, but unfortunately it can leave you feeling drained and without energy. By using affirmations, it is possible for a person to overcome this condition which in turn would allow them to complete the task as it should ideally be completed.

The desired goal can be achieved by means of affirmations. In other words you need to remind yourself continuously and consistently that you stand to gain numerous benefits by completing the task successfully. You could go and stand in front of a mirror and tell yourself that by the time you’ve finished the plans, it will be the best looking home in the world.

Affirmations can of course help you in more ways than one. In fact, if you’ve never been successful at giving up a smoking, then affirmations can help you do just that. Affirmations, either spoken or written, allow you to gain access to the power of your subconscious mind.

Post hypnotic suggestion is another common method used in order to harness the power of the subconscious mind. This can be done either with the help of a professional therapist, or it can be done by means of self hypnosis, using specially created audio recordings.

While both of the above mentioned methods are known to be highly effective, there is however another process which is still relatively new, and this involves synchronizing the brain waves of the two hemispheres in the brain. This process, known as binaural beats, employs the use of different sound frequencies played into each ear through a set of headphones. The frequencies used are only slightly different from each other but it is sufficient enough to result in an almost instantaneous meditative state of mind. Of course, it is this state of mind which is ideal in terms of allowing the conscious mind to communicate with the subconscious mind.

In fact, this whole process can be taken a lot further, as has been demonstrated by Buddhist monks for centuries. As you may have already have heard, some monks have so much control over their subconscious minds, that they’re able to exhibit what could best be described as being supernatural powers in that they are able to levitate.

Books and movies have made a huge effort in trying to explain how it’s possible that people can essentially manipulate matter by using the power of the subconscious mind. This a phenomenon is nowadays known as the ‘Law of Attraction’ and it is not only a theory, but rather a fact in that it’s a physical law which has been proven to work. In other words, you can get certain things out of life simply by communicating successfully with your subconscious mind.

Even though this may sound quite unbelievable, quantum physics is able to show us that the ancient religions have been right all along when they say that the reality we live in the simply a product of our mind. Interestingly enough, quantum physics has also been able to help us understand other amazing powers such as how certain people can be psychic.

The bottom line is; your subconscious mind is far bigger and more powerful than what you can never imagine, and that is why you should never overlook the importance of being able to control it. Over and above being able to change the way you act and behave, you’ll also be able to use your subconscious mind in order to discover a life full of riches.
